Thinking of renting MW 2, don't have online...

I get pretty sick in cars, and also on planes during turbulance....and every now and again playing games...it wasn't a shock seeing as I was totally "into it" and not taking breaks.

Took me about 2 hours to not feel like I was about to blow chunks.

The oil rig mission is the one that took me down....

that one really stuck out for me on the coolness factor. the whole scuba approach, snatching a guard off the platform, stabbing him, and then watching his lifeless body sink into the deep blue with a bloody trail following. awesome. took me a few tries to get through it cuz the end has the enemy popping smoke everywhere, and you have to use the thermal scope. i'm not a huge fan of it.

Yea it's a great single player game. I always play the story mode before going online, it's a good story on this one.

i found the ending a little too similar to the original modern warfare, but it was still fun.

fingers in ears........no spoilers please...haha

[Kettle]

i was vague enough. i swear we should meet up for a beer sometime fuzz. you could play online at my place if you're cool enough. haha

The ending sets up for another one, that's all I will say.

I have a stupid question.

Is there a "campaign" mode in the offline version? Like how in Halo, you can have multi-player but they are on the same team.

I don't play on it live and wanted to get this game for my son but I also like to play. I am not good enough at the game to survive online and surprisingly, I have a real military Ops background.

lol, Yea there is a campaign "story" mode. There isn't a campaign mode online, you just play different games on different maps.

Thanks.

Did you play the original MW campaign? It's like a really bad version of that with more Michael Bay injected directly into the set pieces. (The best part of the campaign)

MW2 is for online, and that's pretty much it. But it's not a terrible single player experience.. there's just better stuff out there.

Yeah the single player game isn't anything to write home about. I suppose as a rental it's worth it, but you'll be returning it in a few days without the online mode.

To be fair to IW, I'm not saying they made the wrong decision in putting next to 0 effort into the single player. The tuning and upgrades to the multiplayer make this 60 dollars well spent... easily.
